ROGUE STRINGS FROM MF

i've been playing bass 17 years and have wasted money on every string out there. i just got the 3 to a pack cheap rogue stainless strings from mf. i'll let everyone know if they're ok or not. $45 for 3 each, 45-65-85-105-130, it works out to $15 a set. i'll post what i think soon, peace out.

Until I bought some Fender 9050Ms flatwounds for a princely $15.50, I'd never spent that much money on bass strings in my life. It seems like every other month there are some name brand bass strings on loss-leader sale at GC, so I stock up.

I would still be interested in the country of origin on these when you get them, as well as their wound length. Lots of "bargain" strings have really short wound lengths that prevent them from being used on a whole lot of basses.

Cheaper 5's can be had from www.wwandbw.com (Woodwind and Brasswind). The Vinci nickel rounds are $12.99 a set and you don't even have to buy three sets (though the shipping makes it a better idea). And they take boiling very well, amking them even more economical.

Guitar Center blew out Danelectro bass strings last year at $15 for a 5 pack. No, that's not a misprint! 3 bucks a set. By the time I got there, they had one 5-pack box left. I bought it. The thing is, they're very good strings, too.
